Yield 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 pound sweet potatoes, cooked, peeled and mashed
1 1/4 cups light brown sugar
1 egg yolk, beaten
1 tablespoon heavy cream
5 tablespoons melted butter
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
Pastry for a one-crust 10-inch pie
4 eggs
1/2 cup dark corn syrup
1 tablespoon dark rum
2 1/2 cups pecan halve

Steps:

  • Combine the sweet potatoes with 1/4 cup of the sugar, the egg yolk, the cream, 1 tablespoon of the butter, 1 teaspoon of the vanilla, the cinnamon and nutmeg. Beat until smooth.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a pan with the pastry. (The pan can be a nine-inch cake pan, springform pan or quiche pan 1 1/2 to 2 inches deep that has a removable bottom.) Spread sweet potato mixture evenly in pastry-lined pan.
  • Beat eggs until frothy; then beat in the remaining 1 cup brown sugar. Add corn syrup, remaining 4 tablespoons melted butter, rum and and remaining 1 teaspoon vanilla. Stir in pecans and pour the mixture into the pan.
  • Put in the oven and bake 1 1/2 to 1 3/4 hours, until the top feels firm and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool before serving.
